High Desert Pest Control
Spider Control
Black widows are common across the High Desert, nesting in block walls, garages, woodpiles, and the corners of your eaves. Knocking down webs isn't enough — you have to treat the harborage and the insects spiders feed on.
Call Now — (442) 437-8396How do you get rid of black widows and other spiders?
Knocking down webs isn't enough on its own. We treat the cracks, block walls, garages and eaves where spiders hide, clear webbing, and cut down the insects they feed on, because fewer prey insects means fewer spiders. Black widows are most visible in the High Desert from May through September, so a barrier in place by spring does the most good.
Signs of a spider problem
- Webs in corners, eaves, garages, and block walls
- Egg sacs in sheltered, low-traffic areas
- Black widows around woodpiles, meters, and outdoor furniture
How we handle it
We knock down and treat webbing, treat the cracks and voids where spiders hide, and reduce the other bugs they hunt. Fewer prey insects means fewer spiders sticking around.

How spiders get inside
- Gaps around garage door weather seals and pet doors
- Open vent screens (attic, dryer, crawlspace) with torn mesh
- Cracks in block walls that connect outside harborage to inside spaces
- Hitching a ride on boxes, firewood, and patio furniture brought inside
When they're most active
Black widows are active year-round in the High Desert but become much more visible from May through September. Females stay near their webs; males wander looking for mates and end up indoors. Egg sacs hatch in summer, multiplying the population fast if not treated.
What you can do before we get there
A few quick things you can do today that'll make any treatment — ours or your own — work better.
- Shake out shoes, gloves, and outdoor cushions before using them
- Keep woodpiles, rock piles, and stored boxes away from the house
- Seal gaps around utility penetrations and garage doors
- Reduce outdoor lighting near doors — bright lights attract the insects spiders eat
Questions about spider control
Are black widows dangerous?+
Black widows are venomous, and a bite can cause pain and muscle cramping. Serious reactions are uncommon, but anyone bitten — especially a child, an older adult or someone with health conditions — should get medical care. Black widows are common in High Desert block walls, garages and woodpiles, so it's worth treating the places they hide.
Will knocking down webs get rid of spiders?+
Not on its own. Spiders rebuild quickly, and egg sacs left behind hatch into more. Real control means treating the cracks and voids where spiders hide and cutting down the insects they feed on — fewer prey insects means fewer spiders sticking around.
